Iím seeking help, please, to find a passenger record of Annie Minnie Zink & sister Marie Louise Zink & whoever they were with, travelling from Sydney to Germany around 1898. Annie (known as Minnie) would have been about 13yrs old & Marie (known as Louisa) would have been about 5 yrs old.

They were sent from Sydney by their parents, Heinrich Otto & Friederike Louise Zink, to live with relatives in Germany & to be educated there.

Their paternal grandfather, Friedrich Carl Theodor Zink (known as Carl) was a schoolmaster in Gotha. Their paternal uncle, Carl Adalbert Ferdinand Zink, was a pastor in Welsleben. He & his wife were childless & I know Louisa lived with them for some time.

I have their return details but have no idea whether they travelled to Germany with relatives or family friends.
